Tuk-tuk-tuk--
The speedboat dragged long splashes of water on the sea and shuttled through the waters surrounding Yong'an Island.
The weather is fine and the sun is just right.
It's just that the sea breeze was a little stronger, blowing Trench Coat loudly.
Li Chengjun put his hands in his pockets, wearing Sunglasses, and stood firmly on the bow of Ride the Wind's speedboat breaking through the waves, looking at the blue sea in the distance.
It has been almost half a year since I came to this ghost place.
He is still not used to the life here, the sunshine is too bright, the wind and waves are too calm.
and...
He turned his head slightly and glanced at the several uneasy men standing behind him from the corner of his eye.
Say something silently in your mind:
"Stupid and incompetent subordinates."
Last night, two of his team members were attacked and killed in the execution of their mission.
He didn't care about the life or death of the two of them.
I'm just worried that being exposed to the police's view will affect my plans.
Li Chengjun looked at the vast sea and thought silently.
There is always little hope of finding some clues left by the enemy in such an environment.
What's more, there are only a few manpower available in the stronghold, which makes it even more hopeless.
Speaking of which, carrying out this kind of task of searching for enemy traces and gathering information is not as effective as having a few more ordinary people.
A plump middle-aged man behind him looked at Li Chengjun's back with a somewhat apprehensive expression.
He seemed to have thought about it for a long time before he boldly spoke:
"Sir Envoy, Truth Society has probably discovered our Hunting behavior and finally couldn't help but take action. Is it time to ask for help from the headquarters?"
Li Chengjun turned his head when he heard this, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and stared at him intently:
"Do you really think so?"
The obese middle-aged man's body suddenly stiffened.
He only felt an invisible Aura Field pressing over him, making it difficult for him to breathe for a moment.
As the former person in charge of the base, Tang Dayuan has quite a lot of seniority and ability among Noah Organization, so he is qualified for such an important position.
Now, in front of this young man who suddenly landed in the air, he didn't even dare to express his anger.
Although Li Chengjun looks handsome and speaks with a bit of a smile, he is a complete pervert.
What's more, I heard that he has a very strong backer at the headquarters, which is not something that the person in charge of a small stronghold can afford to offend.
Just when Tang Dayuan felt the pressure was huge, luckily another person spoke up and helped out:
"I don't think it's like it. If it was Truth Society who took action, they shouldn't have done anything extra and left Mermaid at the scene of the crime."
After the man interjected, he seemed to have started talking.
Others who were silent on the boat also expressed their opinions.
"Yes, there are a lot of doubts about this matter."
"Perhaps he was accidentally discovered by some capable tourist or islander. Wang Brothers wanted to kill people and silence them, but ended up hitting an iron plate?"
"The chance of this happening is very small. Wang Zongwu is no weaker than us. We performed very well at Nanyang before and were transferred here by the headquarters."
"It's hard to say. After all, the two of them just arrived at Yong'an Island and carried out the Hunting mission for the first time..."
While everyone was discussing, one person suddenly said:
"Is it possible that Special Search Team took action..."
As soon as this question was raised, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly solidified.
Li Chengjun suddenly chuckled and said calmly:
"You don't have to think wildly. I can tell you clearly that Special Search Team is in trouble right now and has even bigger headaches. He has no spare time to control such a barbaric place."
When everyone heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, they are just a small stronghold, with few people and resources, and they are isolated overseas.
If you are really targeted by a Official Authorities force like Special Search Team and cannot receive timely assistance from the organization, you will have no choice but to become a deserter.
Next, what Li Chengjun said made them completely relax.
"The Pursuer Team I requested from the headquarters should arrive in the next two days. By then we will have enough manpower to officially start the plan."
After revealing some information to his subordinates, Li Chengjun stared at the Cape that appeared in front of him and murmured to himself in a low voice:
"No matter who you are, I hope to see you take action when the time comes. This will be exciting enough!"
The speedboat drove around the sea area around Yong'an Island but found nothing, so it turned back with the sound of the motor.
In the evening, the sky is dim.
Training Camp Base Building under the setting sun, the shadow looks distorted and mysterious.
On the seventh floor Conference Room, there are people sitting on both sides of a long conference table.
There were no lights on in the room, and the dim light made the atmosphere a bit gloomy.
The dark heads were full of whispers.
It seems that people attending the conference are more accustomed to being in the dark.
They are the high-level cadres of "Truth and Meditation Co-cultivation Society". There are about thirty people, and most of them are older.
The old man with wrinkles sitting in the chief position is the current Vice President and Acting President Zheng Hongxin.
His eyes were deep and shining, and he slowly scanned the venue.
Many of the next attendees are real companions who came from all over Yong'an Island.
Not only Mentor including many Training Camp Base, but also Yong'an Island Water Police District Chief, Deputy Director of Civil Affairs, Clan Leader Chen and others are also listed.
Chen Jiandong sat silently next to him, acting as the minutestaker of the meeting.
"President, dear companions."
Commander Water Police, who was sitting at the bottom, spoke loudly:
"I have retrieved information from the archives and compared it carefully. Since the first discovery of poachers in December last year, we at Water Police District have adopted strict monitoring measures to crack down on unregistered illegal ships and achieved good results."
"Then, during the same period in December last year and this year, there were frequent cases of missing fishermen and boats. If we analyze the situation this time, it is obvious that most of those cases were caused by poachers, but their actions have become more secretive."
As he spoke, he raised a compiled document in his hand and handed it to Zheng Hongxin.
"It seems that Purebloods was captured by humans and has actually happened many times."
When a senior executive heard this, he couldn't help but frowned. "It's just that this time they encountered a mysterious enemy, and they were accidentally exposed."
These words immediately aroused a low murmur of discussion.
Everyone had different expressions, some were slightly frowning and thinking deeply, or they were equally confused and worried.
Suddenly, a senior executive with a particularly hot temper suddenly slammed the table and said angrily:
"Damn, those poachers are getting more and more blatant and are bullying us directly!"
You know, Yong'an Island is the base camp of Truth Society, which has been intertwined for nearly two hundred years.
Even if Official Organization is attacked many times in the past, their influence cannot be eliminated.
Now he is actually being ridden by a group of outsiders.
"Old Chen, please calm down first. If we weren't in a special situation now, how could we allow those outsiders to be so unbridled?"
"Yes, the main reason is that after becoming Purebloods, they rarely return to land to contact us, and no one knows what happened..."
Many senior executives spoke out, offered a few words of comfort, and took advantage of the situation to explain their negligence in their work.
There are also many people who offer suggestions on how to take measures to fight back.
For example, you can organize a large-scale population survey. If you don't believe that you can't find those Mouse hiding in the gutter.
Conference Room was filled with noisy discussions.
Chen Jiandong looked motionless, just silently recording the speeches of each senior cadre.
Zheng Hongxin raised his thick eyebrows and suddenly tapped his knuckles heavily on the table.
After everyone held their breath and expressed silence, they spoke in a deep voice:
"Everyone, Great Tide, which occurs once every two hundred years, has arrived. We are at our weakest moment right now. We should not act rashly to avoid exposing the truth."
"And the most important event, Sea Sacrifice Ceremony, will be held in five days. This time, we can only succeed without any mistakes."
"Otherwise, the consequences are difficult to estimate. I am afraid that Great Plague may break out again across the island like it did two hundred years ago..."
He paused for a moment, then looked seriously at Deputy Director of Civil Affairs and Patriarch Chen.
"Now we still need more new blood to meet Ritual this time. How are you preparing?"
After hearing this, the two of them explained their work situation one after another.
Zheng Hongxin After listening, he nodded slightly and his eyes suddenly became sharp:
"As long as you survive these five days and regain your breath, we will immediately search the entire island and hunt down those poachers to serve as a warning to others!"
Immediately afterwards, he issued two more defensive measures against possible Danger.
First, find a reason to temporarily close Yong'an Island's air route to the outside world.
Secondly, except for those on official duties, all combatants returned to the base and made every effort to maintain the safety of Ritual.
Now that President has made a decision, senior cadres will no longer continue to debate this matter.
After the atmosphere calmed down a bit.
Everyone began to speculate about the identity of the guy who helped them deal with the poachers this time.
Some people even suspected Special Search Team, but it was immediately rejected by others.
Because for decades, the two sides have actually formed a tacit understanding.
As long as the power of "Truth and Meditation Co-cultivation Society" is limited to Yong'an Island, the peace of local Order will be guaranteed.
Then, they will not cause extra troubles.
They maintain a harmonious situation with each other.
Dinner time.
There is no mistake, every song is published and every content is read one by one!
Inside the bustling Dining Hall.
Fang Cheng and Pan Wendi carried two plates of Stainless Steel, squeezed out of the crowd, and found an empty seat to sit down.
The dinner plate is full, still full of vegetarian dishes.
Pan Wendi seemed to have a loss of appetite and could not eat a bite.
Fang Cheng picked up the chopsticks, moved his cheeks, picked up the vegetables and started chewing.
It looked like he had been hungry for several days and was eating a sumptuous seafood dinner.
Pan Wendi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but take a small piece of chopsticks from Fang Cheng's dinner plate.
Then put it in your mouth and taste it carefully, wondering what the difference is in the taste.
Fang Cheng ignored him. After swallowing a mouthful of Braised Eggplant, he stared at Prompt Information that appeared in front of him.
[You tasted a unique meal, Gourmet Experience+1]
Then he picked up a bowl of Seaweed Soup and drank two big gulps.
A new Prompt Information appeared in front of me again.
[You drink a delicious soup that soothes the nerves and helps you sleep, Gourmet Experience+1]
Looking at the information about the increase in experience that emerged one after another, Fang Cheng showed a smile that no outsider could guess.
Speaking of which, I arrived at Yong'an Island on the first night and had dinner at Training Camp Base.
Fang Cheng found that the food here seems to be more nourishing to the stomach.
A simple vegetarian meal can actually add 1 point of Experience Points.
Today's dinner seems to have special ingredients, Experience Points swish up.
Eating only half of a meal adds 4 experience points.
You must know that after "Food" reaches Expert Level, ordinary daily diet can no longer meet his needs to improve his skills.
Only some relatively unique and rare foods can successfully pass the Panel appraisal and obtain Experience Points.
Thinking of this, Fang Cheng looked at the words "soothes the mind and helps sleep" in Prompt Information.
Suddenly I understood why Pan Wendi and everyone else slept so deeply and soundly these past two nights.
It even cured the old problem of insomnia among some members.
But it's a pity...
This soothing and sleeping soup seems to have no effect on me at all.
The reason for this situation may be that the delicious food Skill Special Effect"Poison Resistance" is working.
Fang Cheng shook his head and continued to take a sip of the soup with its unique umami flavor.
No matter what, as long as the value of Skill Experience increases, it proves that it is a good thing for you.
He wolfed down a portion of the meal.
In Pan Wendi's surprised eyes, Fang Cheng got up again and went to the window to get food.
This goes back and forth until the third time.
Dining Hall Auntie has remembered him and refuses to give him life or death.
Fang Cheng glanced at Cooking Skill, who had gained a total of 12 experience points, and put away Panel and the dinner plate angrily.
While sitting and waiting for Pan Wendi to finish eating, he glanced at the other people eating around him and made secret observations.
Still no sign of the veteran student who lived on the third floor.
Moreover, it seems that a certain Training Camp staff member on another floor never showed up again.
After returning that night, Fang Cheng followed the traces of footprints and smells on the floor to find the room where the monsters first appeared.
And now all the people living in the room happened to have disappeared.
Fang Cheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he had some suspicions in his mind.
Sure enough.
When he went to bed that night, he no longer heard the strange footsteps on the same floor.
The next day, morning.
Training Camp Base East side high ground.
The tour group members formed a circle and sat side by side on the grassy slope of the mountain top.
We are conducting an outdoor spiritual practice Meditation close to nature and feeling the pure soul.
Close your eyes and let the sea breeze blow.
It's like a gentle whisper, which makes people feel particularly fresh and comfortable, and can take away all the irritability in their hearts.
"Do you feel it?"
"Energy comes from the earth and Ocean. Wind and vegetation are also breathing. Nature instinctively knows how to maintain harmony. Everything is running in an orderly manner. What should we learn from it..."
Mentor's gentle words drifted into my ears with the wind.
Regardless of whether they have truly entered the Meditation state or not, everyone's face shows a sense of tranquility and serenity that is rarely seen in ordinary times.
A long time passed.
Suddenly, a burst of applause sounded.
Mentor Chen, who was sitting in the crowd, clapped his hands and spoke, waking everyone up:
"Okay, today's class is over. Everyone's performance has improved compared to last time. Now you can return to Dormitory and you can also move around freely."
After hearing this, the group members stood up one after another, chatting and laughing easily, and shared with each other the insights they had just gained.
Fang Cheng also patted the grass blades and dust on his butt, stood up and looked at the familiar environment around him.
The location chosen for this outdoor Meditation class happened to be Cape who had been there that night.
Since discovering the anomaly in Training Camp Base, Fang Cheng has played the role of an ordinary office worker.
He behaves normally and never reveals that he possesses any Special Abilities.
Morning Lesson. Evening classes are self-study classes, and you will basically not take the initiative to participate.
But this kind of Meditation teaching class, which is a group activity, is still needed.
In addition to learning Meditation knowledge, being too unique will make you more conspicuous.
I watched some members of the group running to the top of Cape, admiring the scenery and taking photos.
Fang Cheng chooses Pan Wendi and others to return to the Dormitory building first.
Half an hour later.
The whole Cape returned to silence, with only the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the grass and a few seagulls chirping from time to time.
But at this moment, a figure reappeared here.
It is Fang Cheng who has gone and returned.
He stood at the top of Cliff, looking at the sparkling blue sea, his thoughts flying.
When I was in class just now, I was thinking about the Physical Training plan that was affected after traveling here.
Fang Cheng Suddenly a whim occurred.
Now that I own Talent of "Water Breathing", why not try to use the special environment of the seabed to perform Weight Training?
